They all still fall short of Opus 4.6, definitely though. They are good but fail on extremely complex tasks, in contrast with a frontier model that will keep on trying until it succeeds or exhausts the solutions space.

Not by much, and moving goalposts makes for a bad comparison. Local open weight models are already more powerful than frontier models from only a year back.

If you believe what you read here, the gap is closing fast.

frontier models don't keep trying until they succeed. that's a harness problem and best believe it, the best harness are private and not public.
It is much more of a context window size and model capabilities problem. Local models are not even remotely close in solving complex problems, even when used with the same harness.
